Yeah I'm not liking this Houston under at all. I guess scoring could die (it's already slowed) but I'll be surprised if I win this one.

I have over 121 in the Wisconsin game coming up FWIW.
Pissed that I didn't get the LSU at +11 that I planned to bet and then it was +9.5 and I nitted out.
We just may be riding this second half over boys. I think VWLS must be in the stands whispering sweet nothing's with that sexy voice of hers to these brothers cuz shits at a stand still right now.
Radio will be wrecked obv 14-5 xavier looks like a bunch of pos from shit hole Ohio tonight.
LOL 131 in phoenix game. We taking over 2nd half?
Cleveland, Dallas, and Minnesota tomorrow.
Monta Ellis questionable.
Not as sold on Minnesota as you are, especially against top teams. Line is only 9.
Cleveland is up to 12.5 so I'm going to avoid it, though might still be a good pick with DWade out.
I'm going with:
GS/Minnesota - Over 217.5
Atlanta -6.5 at Boston
Bovada has GS/Min Over 218 -105, and Atlanta -7 -115 (and 7.5 -105 for squares!)
So they must be getting lopsided Atlanta money and don't want people betting it at a decent line.
I'll just go with the GS over.
So I hated betting -7 -115 when the going rate was -6.5 -110, so I skipped Atl.
Don't know if it improved because I took a nap.
Woke up to find Atl ahead by 14 right now.
can we talk about your mid day nap habits as a grown man
I got Cleveland -11.5 last night and dallas -3.5 last night.
Yeah I probably got too cute betting minnesota. They are down 11 on second quarter.
I would have totally taken the over in that. It pays to snag big name teams like Cleveland overnight (only on bovada if they aren't on a back to back) but it also pays to start looking at games before now. Like the gsw min over for example.
Well for once Bovada did me a favor with their crappy lines. Atlanta blew a late 14 point lead and lost OUTRIGHT 89-88. Wow. Was considering the under on that game, too. Too bad I didn't go for it. Seems like Atlanta goes under a lot when facing teams that normally have high totals.
On the bad side, looks like I am going to lose GS/Min unless it goes to OT, as it's only up to 154 with 10:31 left. So I doubt I'll be seeing 64 points in that time frame. It is a 6 point game, so I guess I can root for OT, which honestly I deserve at this point after everything that's happened.
Cleveland pick looking fairly good after 3 if you don't get screwed by trash time.
I've been watching the Celtics. They are really the comeback kings.
Maybe there's a live betting application to this.
I've seen it so many times where they seem down and out, and either end up winning or finishing within a few points.
With that said, overall this still isn't a very good team.
I agree they are not good. But they have a bunch of young scrappers who play hard and a pretty good coach so they keep fighting and are getting better. More or less all role players on the team. Smart could wind up being very good and they got a couple other guys like Olynik and Sullinger who could max out as a 1 time or 2 time all stars at some point but they have no franchise players.
Long term they are in position to build a winner though. They got a ton of cap space although I am not sure they can lure any big guns here and they have trade acceptions they picked up.
They need to strike gold here somehow as they own all of these picks. Granted some of these wont be high but they have 14 first round picks in the next few years.

1. [Dallas’ pick is protected selections 1-3 and 15-30 in 2015; protected 1-7 from 2016-2020; unprotected 2021]↑
2. [Minnesota’s pick (via the Suns) is protected 1-12 in 2015 and 2016; becomes 2016 and 2017 second-round picks]↑
3. [Philadelphia’s pick is lottery protected selections 1-14]↑

8. [Better of Dallas/Memphis second-round pick]↑
9. [Boston has option to swap first-round pick with Brooklyn; second-round pick to Nets if swapped and 45+]↑
10. [Memphis pick is delivered two years after Grizzlies fulfill obligation to Denver. Pick is protected 1-11 in 2017; 1-13 in 2018; 1-9 in 2019; 1-7 in 2020, unprotected in 2021]↑
11. [If all outstanding picks are previously delivered]↑
While the protections on all the picks make it a bit difficult to digest, here's the most likely scenario for Boston in the next two drafts:
• 2 first-round picks in 2015 (Celtics, Clippers); 3 second-round picks (Celtics, 76ers, Wizards)
• 4 first-round picks in 2016 (Celtics, Nets, Cavaliers, Mavericks); 5 second-round picks (76ers, Wolves, Heat, Cavaliers, Mavericks)
That's as many as 14 potential picks over the next two drafts. Needless to say, unless Boston desires to draft an entire new roster, it will attempt to move those picks for more known assets.
Cleveland -3
This is why I'm a sports betting donk. Just randomly alcohol induced bet Roy "big country" a few nights ago. when I had no clue who he was.
Looked it up later and I bet a fat dude against a Greek God. Not to be redundant but the Greek is black.
